BOGOR, PRINDONESIA.CO - The laboratory which stood on an area of ??1,530 m2 was inaugurated by the Indonesian Minister of Industry AirlanggaHartarto in Sentul, Bogor, Monday (18/03/2019). The two-story building consists of testing the most complete Physical-Chemical Characteristics and testing the Performance of Lubricant Parameters. All the test equipment is the latest technology with 24-hour operational speed. While in operation it is supported by analysts, operators, and PPC who are competent and experienced in the lubricant test field.

This laboratory can also test lubricants in use (Used Oil Analysis). So, the industry can find out the lubricant's service life and the condition of the engine parts that rotate efficiently. In the end, machinery productivity can continue to increase.

PTSI is a company designated and appointed by the Minister of Industry as a Testing Laboratory through the Minister of Industry Regulation Number 37 of 2018 to meet the infrastructure needs in order to implement the mandatory SNI (Indonesian National Standard). 

According to Airlangga, this policy aims to support the needs of the domestic lubricants industry player and answer the challenges of the globalization era. The automotive industry in Indonesia has experienced good growth. However, the increase in population growth and production of motorized vehicles is not accompanied by an increase in the production of domestic lubricants. With the enactment of mandatory SNI for lubricants, it is expected to increase the competitiveness and utilization of the domestic lubricant industry so that it can meet the increasing demand for lubricants for the national automotive industry. "Consumers are protected, businesses can also compete by apple to apple," he said.

Encourage Competitiveness                           

Director of Surveyor Indonesia Dian M. Noer said, the Lubricant Test Laboratory was built to support the government policy in implementing the Standard, Technical Regulation, Conformity Assessment Procedure (STRACAP) as an instrument to secure domestic industries from the attacks of imported products that are not qualified. In Indonesia, these instruments are generally carried out through mandatory SNI application.

 

Thus, it is expected that the quality of domestic lubricant producers can increase. Industry players can also meet industry demands according to national, international and legislative standards. "Indonesian surveyors are ready to secure domestic industries from the attacks of imported products that are not qualified," said Dian. "Let us jointly oversee the obligatory SNI for Lubricants to encourage national industry competitiveness and guarantee the interests of the consumers," he said.

Furthermore, PTSI will continue to improve the quality of its personnel and services, and improve the laboratory with various certifications. "With this approach, we are communicating to be able to obtain, manage and increase the trust of the customers," he said, adding that the laboratory had been operating since early 2019.

Dian's statement at the same time answered the request of AsmawiSyam, Special Staff IV of the Minister of State-Owned Enterprises, which was present on that day representing SOE Minister RiniSoemarno. He advised that PTSI to carry out its activities professionally and be able to answer the needs of consumers so that it can help the image, not only for the company, but also for the SOE as a whole.
